Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

The next day, Master Liu took Li Zhi to visit a senior in Xiaoyao Mountain.

"Although I was allowed by the Immortal Sect to practice the magic of the Three Peaks and Six Caves, I was entangled in some trivial matters and did not complete the nine magics of the Three Peaks and Six Caves..."

Immortal Master Liu walked with Li Zhi, saying: "Originally, I was going to teach you the Three Absolute Swords first. I can teach you this skill myself. However, what you are worried about is indeed more important, so I will let you practice the Five Elements and Five Armors Skill first."

"Yes, Master!" Li Zhi said with his head down.

Three swords?

Li Zhi suddenly remembered the sword that Chen Buyu swung at the gate of Tianchi Immortal Gate.

The Three Absolute Swords are the ultimate means of attack.

Li Zhi naturally yearned for it, and this was exactly what Li Zhi lacked.

However, what Li Zhi needs more right now is the art of the Five Elements and Five Armors, so it doesn't matter if he practices the Three Absolute Swords a little later.

However, if he fails to practice the Five Elements and Five Armors technique in time, the threat to his five internal organs cannot be eliminated.

However, Li Zhi could also see from this point that every step that Master Liu made for Li Zhi was obviously carefully planned and was based on Li Zhi's situation.

Li Zhi makes up for whatever he lacks.

Ah!

What a good master!

Li Zhi didn't show it on his face, but he sneered in his heart.

Master Liu glanced at Li Zhi briefly, then said: "This time I will take you to find this senior who is my teacher, and ask him to teach you the art of the five elements and five armors."

Hearing this, Li Zhi remembered that Bai Zhan had once told him that Master Yan Daosheng passed on the art to Tang Shiyue. This master Tang Shiyue was known as the Five Scattered Man, and it was said that he had the deepest attainments in the art of the Five Elements and Five Armors in Xiaoyao Mountain.

So, Li Zhi asked, "Master, is this senior brother of yours the so-called Five Scattered Men, Uncle Tang Shiyue?"

"Oh? Do you know him?" Master Liu asked curiously.

Li Zhi shook his head and said, "I heard from Senior Brother Bai Zhan that he was Senior Brother Yan Daosheng's master."

Immortal Master Liu nodded and said, "Yes, it is him."

Li Zhi didn't say anything else and followed Master Liu quietly.

After a while, they arrived outside Tang Shiyue's cave.

"Brother Tang, I'm here to visit you!"

For the first time, an expression appeared on Master Liu's face that Li Zhi had seen for the first time. It seemed that Master Liu was unexpectedly respectful to Tang Shiyue.

"Haha! How come Junior Brother Liu has time to come visit me today?"

A hearty voice was heard, and then a man in coarse linen clothes walked out of the cave.

Li Zhi looked at the man in front of him curiously. In Xiaoyao Mountain, everyone Li Zhi saw was wearing Taoist robes, but the man in front of him was dressed like a farmer. He did not have the temperament of a Taoist priest at all. Instead, he looked like a strong and powerful old farmer.

"I asked you to come out of seclusion to support me last time, and I haven't thanked you yet. Now I have to nag you again this time."

Master Liu's tone was so polite that Li Zhi almost thought that this was not Master Liu.

Tang Shiyue said nonchalantly: "Why do we brothers have to say this? What do you want to see me for today?"

Immortal Master Liu waved to Li Zhi, who took a few steps forward, bowed to Tang Shiyue and said, "Nephew Li Zhi, meeting Uncle Tang."

After Li Zhi finished speaking, Master Liu said, "I brought my disciple here today because I want you to teach me the art of the Five Elements and Five Armors."

Hearing this, Tang Shiyue glanced at Li Zhi, then frowned and said, "Are you asking the ancestor to make an exception just for your disciple?"

Master Liu nodded in agreement.

Tang Shiyue frowned even deeper, and said, "Junior Brother Liu, you know me. I don't know how to beat around the bush. I always say what I want to say directly. Please don't be offended."

When Master Liu heard what Tang Shiyue said, he just replied: "Brother, you can speak directly if you have anything to say. I will definitely not blame you for anything."

"Okay! Then I'll be frank. It sounds good to learn magic from you, but magic can't be mastered overnight. You can't digest it by chewing it too much. Junior brother, how could you understand that?"

Tang Shiyue pointed at Li Zhi and continued, "The more spells he practices, the more his Qi will be consumed, and the greater the burden on him! I see that your disciple is not destined to live a long life, and now you are asking him to practice more spells. Do you want to kill him?"

Li Zhi listened helplessly and smiled bitterly. How could such words be said in front of him, the person involved?

However, Li Zhi did not hesitate at all, and bowed to Tang Shiyue and said, "Uncle Tang, please don't blame my master. This is something I, your nephew, requested voluntarily!"

When Li Zhi said this, not only Tang Shiyue was shocked, but even Master Liu was surprised.

"You...you...ah!"

Tang Shiyue pointed at Li Zhi and opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end nothing came out.

He looked at Master Liu, who was no longer as generous as before, but said in a somewhat cold tone: "I, Tang Shiyue, have no other requirements for teaching people. If your disciple can meet my requirements, I will teach him magic."

Immortal Master Liu did not show any surprise when he heard this. He looked at Li Zhi and asked, "How is it? Are you confident?"

Li Zhi glanced back at Master Liu. At this point, he had to learn the art of the five elements and five armors!

He nodded and said to Tang Shiyue: "Please tell me what you want, Master. Li Zhiding will do his best to do it!"

Tang Shiyue looked at Li Zhi deeply, then turned and walked back to his cave, and his voice rang out at the same time.

"Come to my place again tomorrow at noon!"

 …

Inside the cave, the light was dim and the atmosphere was a little depressing.

Master Liu and Li Zhi sat facing each other, neither of them spoke.

Master Liu stared at Li Zhi quietly. His eyes were deep and complicated, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Li Zhi lowered his head and fiddled with the long sword in his hand attentively. The long sword containing a golden aura seemed to be the only focus of his attention at the moment.

After a long time, Master Liu finally spoke and broke the silence.

He slowly said, "Why did you tell your Uncle Tang that you were the one who requested the fellow practitioner's technique?"

When Li Zhi heard Master Liu's question, he did not look up.

He looked at the sword in his hand and said, "I expect you to practice magic together, and I didn't refuse. What's the difference between this and my voluntary request?"

"Practicing multiple spells will increase the burden on your Qi and affect your lifespan. Don't you mind?"

Master Liu continued to ask.

"I don't mind." Liu Zhi replied without even raising his head.

"Why?" Immortal Master Liu was a little puzzled.

Hearing this, Li Zhi slowly raised his head, grinned, and said, "Because I want to live!"

You want to live, so you don’t mind having a shorter lifespan?

This seems a bit contradictory, but Master Liu seems to be able to detect other meanings from Li Zhi's words.

Master Liu frowned deeply.

For the first time, he felt that he seemed to be unable to see through his apprentice.

Li Zhi glanced at Master Liu who was frowning, then lowered his head and continued to look at the sword in his hand.

He said, "Master, don't worry too much. I just want to follow your instructions and practice well!"

Upon hearing this, Master Liu's brows instantly relaxed. He looked at Li Zhi, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

He said, "Okay, okay! If you have this intention, I can rest in peace even if I die!"

"Really?" Li Zhi asked with a raised eyebrow.

"really!"

Immortal Master Liu's sinister voice sounded.

Li Zhi didn't seem to hear the chill in Master Liu's tone.

He put away his sword, looked at Master Liu and said, "Then Master, please tell me what my Uncle Tang's request might be, so that I can make some preparations."

Master Liu narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Zhi.

And Li Zhi also looked at Master Liu quietly.

"Okay, let me tell you..."

Immortal Master Liu spoke slowly.
